Who is the the Egyptian Mockingjay?


بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم , I think there is no better way to start my blog better than with these words. I feel bizarre taking this step, and I don’t know where it will take me, but today a virtual friend of mine who is the result of our great revolution, decided to start her ownblog, and I was intrigued into doing the same with no real purpose other than finding a more discrete place to vent out my thoughts and emotions.

 
 
Selecting the name was quite an exceptional experience, I have finished reading book 1 and 2 of Hunger Games trilogy, left only to read the last book named “Mockingjay” and the mockingjay was the authors invention which she explained as “they are the hybrid of mockingbirds and jabberjays, the birds were created by mistake. The jabberjays - all male - were initially created to eavesdrop on the rebels in the Dark Days, memorizing entire conversations and repeating them back at the Capitol. Once they were discovered, the rebels fed endless lies to the birds, and sent them back loaded with false information. After the lies were discovered, the Capitol closed the laboratories and the jabberjays were released into the wild, in the hope that they would die off. They did, eventually, but not before they passed on their genetic code to female mockingbirds. This was unforeseen, because no one expected them to have the brains to reproduce. The offspring were called mockingjays, and, while they had lost the ability to memorize words, they could mimic any sounds from a child's high-pitched warble to a man's deep tones, and even songs with multiple verses, if you had the patience to sing to them.”
 
 

The Mockingjays where a symbol of rebellion, they were described as being as tough as rocks, being able to thrive in almost any environment, and this is who I am striving to be, so there would be no better name that describes me or precisely who I desire to be better than the combination name of my beloved nationality and this symbol of rebellion and power, so The Egyptian Mockingjay it will be J
